Welcome to Life on a Crowded Planet!

Is the life we are living now sustainable?

Will technology, free enterprise, governments, or something, make everything all right, no matter how much we waste?

Are we doomed and nothing can save us?

Or is it somewhere in the middle? If it is, shouldn't we have a plan to ensure that human life will be sustainable?

Life on a Crowded Planet attempts to create that plan--to explain, as simply as possible, what our problems are and why we have them; discuss population and environmental controversies and misconceptions; and propose specific effective solutions and plans of action, all of which could be funded by even modest decreases in military expenditures.
